Ethics with Politics

On September 10, 2008 PRSA came out with a post titled "Communications Professionals Challenge McCain and Obama on Ethics." The PRSA is challenging both compaings to sign an agreement to promise to act 100% ethically while running in the campaingn. I would have personally assumed that the practice of ethics would already be a given to any one who is thinking about running a country. Who wants to vote for someone who lies about themself and does not reprsent the whole truth to the people? Wait... we are talking about politicians here. So this being the case I think it is a great idea to have both parties sign the agreement so that the public gets the knowledge they need in the right mannor about each canidate.
The PRSA code of ethics clearly states how one should act ethically. I think everyone can benefit knowing that we are regulating those who we want to lead us. After all this is a nation for the people right?
